If you work in the public sector, you’ve probably heard the term “government innovation”. But do you really know what it means?
There are many complex definitions out there, but broadly the term refers to the process of implementing new approaches to tackle old problems, with the goal of helping public services better serve citizens.
But as innovation techniques gain traction outside of labs and units specifically devoted to experimentation, that definition is evolving.
While innovation is synonymous with invention in the private sector, government innovation is its own beast. It may mean turning a new idea into a policy or process, but it can also mean building and improving upon solutions that already exist.
